The Union Church Board of Christian Learning in cooperation with the Justice Ministry Team will host Fineday in a discussion of “Blood Quantum and Land Ownership.” The federal government over the years has differently defined who is and is not an American Indian. These definitions have had critically important implications for ownership and use of tribal lands.

Fineday was at Union two years ago with Eli Hunt for a forum on the history of the Leech Lake reservation.

I've worked at the Brainerd Dispatch with various duties since Dec. 7, 1983. Starting off as an Ad Designer and currently Director of Audience Development. The Dispatch has been an interesting and challenging place to work. I'm fortunate to have made many friends, both co-workers and customers.
